The Alberta Beef Industry Conference was held February 15 -17 in Red Deer. With more than 1000 people in attendance, there was a broad exchange of ideas and networking. Alberta Cattle Feeders’ Association, Alberta Beef Producers, Alberta Auction Markets Association, Alberta Livestock Dealers and Order Buyers Association and Western Stock Growers’ Association were all in attendance. The Canadian Angus Association shared a booth with other breed associations. Brian Good represented our association and did a great deal of communicating with delegates about our Angus tags and the Canadian Angus Rancher Endorsed program. There were 10 noteworthy speakers that lined-up an extensive review on the global economy, customer satisfaction, COOL, food scarcity and security, exportable markets, and forecast predictions for the upcoming years.
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Evan Berger was amongst the gentlemen who spoke. Lead, Grow, Prosper…Think Outside the Bunk was a huge success, and we look forward to building the relationships that were made at this conference.
